For many queers, theatre has been an escape, this podcast looks to have open conversations on where we’ve come from and where we’re headed as a community, while queering the canon along the way.

episode 2: Every Crayon in the Box with Justin David Sullivan
Justin David Sullivan, currently starring as May in & Juliet on Broadway, brings a burst of queer joy to the podcast. Hosts Harrow and Meghan talk with Justin about the representation that has inspired her, crayons and our type A personalities, what drives them to continue to advocate for inclusivity and representation on stage and how they landed their dream role in & Juliet! We also discuss the unique position of stepping into a character for a Broadway transfer, the queer audience responses to the character of May, the queer anthems of & Juliet, and why she thinks & Juliet is “the queerest show on Broadway.” Justin leaves with a stack of Queer Culture Rec homework and shares with us more about Thee Open House Project started by former guest, Sis!
